DAVAO’S GROOVE UNLIMITED SET TO COMPETE TO WORLD SUPREMACY BATTLEGROUNDS IN SYDNEY

14 November 2012

Davao’s homegrown hip-hop dance talent, GROOVE UNLIMITED has
made it to international stint and now gearing up to bag the crown in the World
Supremacy Battlegrounds, the biggest international hip-hop dance competition happening
in Sydney, Australia on November 30-Dec 2, 2012.

I’ve seen these guys perform on television, my son is an
avid fan of hip-hop dance and these guys as well, but I really didn’t realize
they were this authority in street dancing not until my son saw the video I
uploaded at Youtube which I filmed during the ‘JAZ GRV Anniversary Dance
Concert’ on November 10 at CAP Auditorium here in Davao City and without me
knowing storm his whole class about it.

The ‘JAZ GRV Anniversary Dance Concert’ was held to raise
funds and help send GROOVE UNLIMITED to Sydney to compete to World Supremacy
Battlegrounds. I really enjoyed the show. I think all of Davao’s hip-hop dance
groups were there to support and made that dance concert a success, some
members in fact where those children that were once in conflict with the law
and now finding a ­­__niche in hip-hop dancing.

I’ve been to concerts before, celebrities on stage,
musicals, recitals, stage plays but theirs was one of the touching hip-hop
dance concerts I’ve been to. Just like many groups, conflicts are inevitable –
different schedules, different lifestyles, different views, different
personalities but what’s amazing is that they rise above their weaknesses and
brought the group to limelight and now has made it to international
competitions like WSB. I almost cried when Bryan Grandeza, the crew leader,
they him master by the way, cried while telling the audience how he fathered
the group and howeach one of them find a
family and support from each other, it wasn’t just a dance for them but a group
that made each one of them a better person. Bryan also talked about how they’ve
exhausted all possible means just to put up funds so all of the crew listed in
the official invitation can come and represent the Philippines to the world’s
largest hip-hop battle.

They need our support guys – prayers, moral support and
financially especially - their success is also our success. You can contact Bryan Grandeza
